War Work on the Farm The planting season in most sec- tions will soon be over. Tillage and harvest follow without pause, Young farm laborers are scarcely to be had at Any wage. The Government intends not only to excuse but to refuse recruits employed in useful war work, and that includes the work of the farm. To meet its purpose, that intention should be made known at once, that the flow of labor from the farm may not be only checked but reversed. It may be well to follow a foreign example and give railroad, factory and farm laborers badges to certify that they are in Government service ; then, in President Wilson's phrase, the farm laborer would be recognized as a “soldier of the commissary. ”’ Some farm workers may need reas- surance that they will not be drafted to bear arma. A far greater number should be inspired by official word that in tilling the soil they are doing war work for their country and aid- ing its cause, rine Grove Miils.

Don’t begin this Spring to patch up spots about the house and barn with lumber, To do that simply means to repeat the operation in a few years, Neither is it wise to build new with lumber where cement can be used. Nothing is coming into greater use on the farm than ce- ment for building and repairing, But remember, when thinking of buying cement don’t merely ask for “cement”, but be sure that you get ALPHA PORTLAND CEMENT You will then be sure that you have the best, Concrete work made from this brand is bound to Jstand the most severe tests, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have BUILT TO LAST.
